The Commissioner for Children and Young People invites WA young people aged 12–18 years to have a say on e-cigarettes, or ‘vapes’.

The Commissioner’s anonymous online survey asks young people what they think about e-cigarettes, including what makes these products appealing to young people, whether it is easy to access these products, and what advice or support they would like from adults on vaping.

The survey is open until Monday, 5 June. The responses will be collated and the Commissioner will release a summary report later in 2023.

Are you concerned about your child vaping? 

Researchers from the University of Newcastle are conducting a study to assess whether a text message program sent to parents and adolescents (aged 12-15) can help prevent adolescents from vaping. The messages have been developed to address known barriers and enablers to adolescent vaping, and aim to facilitate conversation between adolescents and their parents or carers on the topic of vaping.
